Ilie Bolojan, about heads with high salaries in government companies: “One of our serious errors in these years was that we tolerated an area of ​​political clientele, of lipids” / the institution offered example.

The Romanian state tolerated the activity of persons called politically who acted as “lipids” and once they arrived in public office to offer only rights while they wanted the state to have only obligations, said Ilie Bolojan in an interview for Antena3.

“One of our serious errors in these years was that we tolerated an area of ​​political clientele, of lipids, which we helped and encouraged to reach the administration councils. They perceived it as a reward, not as a responsibility. They made competitions in their image and similarity,” explained Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan.

He offered as an example the company that manages Otopeni Airport as one of the companies that escaped from control.

“They have made armored contracts that are totally unbalanced and some have only rights and the state only obligations. They went to step two being escaped from the contract and have begun to increase their allowances. We have such situations at Otopeni Airport and other companies. Priority for me that these approaches that go beyond the limit of common sense to be corrected, ”said the prime minister.

He said that instant measures cannot be taken such as cutting the allowances of these people with 70%, as they would not immediately solve the problem, which is why a package of fiscal measures targeted the population was first, following such institutions and those in their leaders to be targeted by the future package of measures.

“We worked on a income growth package, because we couldn't otherwise, and a package of spending discounts. We can reduce in the public sector. We have a too high public sector in relation to the number of citizens working in the real economy,” said the prime minister.
